Paul admonishes his “spiritual son” Timothy to be faithful to true Christian teachings as he leads in the body of Christ. This includes shunning deception by false teachers who will try to infiltrate the church.

Believers in Christ need repeated reminders about practical living in holy relationship with Jesus Christ in a fractured world. D. T. Niles is quoted as saying, “Christianity is one beggar telling another beggar where he found bread.” Timothy receives instructions from the apostle Paul in our reading today as to the heavenly bread that all disciples need to feed upon.

A worker approved and nourished by God has distinct positive changes in how the tongue is used and in conversations with others. Through God’s teachings, positive changes will also occur for His disciples in our personal contacts with others and social concerns for humankind.

Reaching out to lost and broken lives is our priority in our relationships with other people.
